Representation Summary:

My objection is to the proposed building sites in Shelfield (coronation rd/ mob lane) & Yorks Bridge Pelsall.
Me, my wife and two children are home owners in Shelfield. My two boys attend primary school. Our first reaction to the news was the amount of added traffic to the ever growing traffic in the Pelsall/ Shelfield area. Lichfield road, fordbrode and the village are mayhem in peak times as of late, adding 1,343 houses into the equation is ludicrous. The pressure it will also put on local schools and doctors will be a disaster. My eldest son already has to have a split class of 45 due to drowning in attendance. Not to mention never getting a doctors appointment. 5 days of the week the Coronation fields is my route to run from the back railway track. This is one of the last local greenbelts we have left. The most upsetting part is the impact on the environment. We have an amazing wildlife in Shelfield, maple drive, grange crescent, coronation road, the common, west common. The fact this proposal to lift the greenbelt is even an option is disgusting. We need to protect our planet which is currently crying for help. This is not the way!
